11.9 Fuel
11.9.1 Diesel Fuel Requirement
Use commercially available vehicular Ultra-low Sulfur Highway Diesel that meets the
BIS standard (IS 1460; 2010 BS IV / BS III specification or equivalent). Information
on diesel quality can normally be found in the fuel pump. Please contact any filling
station personnel in case labels in the pump cannot be found.
Do not fill the fuel tank or mix the fuel with gasoline, alcohol based fuels,
kerosene, etc. This will damage the engine, fuel and exhaust system
components.
If you have accidentally filled the fuel tank with an incorrect or non-approved
fuel, do not start the vehicle. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer to have
the fuel system drained completely.
11.9.2 Fuelling during Winter
During freezing weather if the fuel is not winterized or is insufficiently winterized,
waxing/gelling may take place in the fuel, leading to interruption in fuel supply to the
engine. For smooth functioning and reliable operation of the engine during cold
weather conditions, use winterized ULSD which is available at the filling stations
during winter months. Check with your fuel retailer for further details.
Avoid inhaling fuel vapors and any skin or clothing contact. Direct skin contact
with diesel or the inhalation of fuel vapor may affect your health.
11.9.3 Minimum Fuel Requirement
It is recommended maintaining a minimum of 10 liters of fuel in the fuel tank. Driving
the vehicle till the fuel tank is empty is not recommended. Always have sufficient fuel
in the tank. Check the fuel level prior to starting your journey.
Never carry fuel in separate containers in the vehicle, it is dangerous and may
lead to an inadvertent fuel leak or spillage.
